Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“I can not say enough about our experience with Groff Funeral home, they took care of my Mom as well as my Dad now. Drew and the staff went above and beyond in my opinion working with us to get my Dad back from Florida after his death. They took the time with my wife and I, walked us through every thing, and as soon as the paper work was in from Florida Drew was on the phone with us so we could move forward with closing my Dads affair's in Florida. The service for my Dad was great. Thank you so much for all your help.”

“I recently completed the services for a third family member using the Groff Funeral Home and Crematory in Sandusky. The entire staff at Groff's could not have been more accommodating or professional. I dealt with Haley for the most part, but also with Kara the President of Groff's. Their understanding, compassion, concern, and attention to details is wonderful. There is a reason that they are so well respected in the community. When dealing with people at a most difficult time in their lives, they understand and go the extra mile to make sure things are done accurately and professionally. What a comfort to know that your loved one and the details of their funeral or cremation are being handled by caring professionals. Our family has been most satisfied in every respect and every detail. Thanks to all! Bill Rudy”
